MELBOURNE (Reuters) - French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova continued her "magical" run of form by taking down an injury-hampered Victoria Azarenka 6-2 6-2 to reach the Australian Open quarter-finals for the first time on Sunday.

The 26-year-old had never gone past the second round at Melbourne Park but is seeded fourth this year. She was ranked outside the world's top 100 until October 2020 but has shown incredible consistency to climb the ladder.
